PERSONALITY TRAITS IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIAL-COGNITIVE MODELS 1. Introduction  Social-cognitive theories explain health behavior and change.  These include the "social-cognitive learning theory," "transtheoretical model of behavioral change," "health action process approach," and "theory of planned behavior." 2. Theory of Planned Behavior (Ajzen, 1985, 1991)  Intentions (e.g., to be regularly physically active) are key determinants of physical activity behavior.  Intentions are influenced by attitudes and subjective norms.  Attitudes reflect positive/negative evaluations of the behavior, while subjective norms are socially determined perceptions.  Intentions form when behavior is evaluated positively and/or when others in one's environment support it. 3. Factors Influencing Attitudes and Subjective Norms  Attitudes depend on behavioral expectations and evaluation of the consequences.  Subjective norms are shaped by normative expectations and individual willingness to conform. 4. Perceived Behavioral Control  Accounts for factors beyond one's control.  Assesses how easy or difficult it is to perform the behavior.  Influenced by self-belief, experiences, and anticipated obstacles.  High perceived control increases the likelihood of being physically active. 5. Interplay in the Theory of Planned Behavior  Attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control predict the intention to act.  Intentions and perceived behavioral control predict behavior.  Intentions are the strongest predictor. 6. Role of Personality Traits  Personality dimensions like diligence (conscientiousness facet) and activity (extraversion facet) are relevant for physical activity behavior.  High activity individuals are "always on the go" and directly influence attitudes and perceived behavioral control.  High diligence individuals are hardworking, persistent, and positively impact perceived control, subjective norms, and attitudes. 7. Conclusion  Social-cognitive models like the theory of planned behavior help understand and predict physical activity behavior.  Incorporating personality traits, particularly diligence enhances comprehension of physical activity behavior. and activity, 8. Implications  Combining personality traits with social-cognitive models can inform targeted interventions and behavior change strategies.
